Yeah, its true. Gaming broke my heart. Coming all the way from the NES to the PS3. So so much has changed. Yeah the graphics got more flashier and the gameplay got all complex, but thats not my point. There was a time when you didn't care what console you had. A PS1 was no different from a N64. Now when I think of video games I think of "Fanboys". Its really bad. So much changed so fast. When the economy fell the prices rose. Its a hard time for alot of people right now and these gaming companys are throwing these ads at people who can't afford what their advertising. It wasn't always like that. There was a time when a newer console was somewhat "expected" to be in your friends living rooms. Now if you have a PS3 people look at you like your rich. And my #1 thing that has changed, is the fun-factor. When it really comes down to it I had more fun playing Crash Bandicoot that Call of Duty 4. Games were so much simpiler that they were funner than they are today. And for anyone to sit here and tell me gaming is more fun now is just ridiculous. So thats whay Gaming broke my heart. I miss the gaming golden age.
Square Enix will announce a new title in the Life is Strange series on January 20 at 10:00 a.m. PT / 1:0 p.m. ET, the company teased.
Where Winds Meet on PS5 is a wuxia MMO with strong action combat, open-ended exploration, and plenty to do if you like setting your own pace.

"It is hard to believe that there would be a time that not only would the Western releases of The Legend of Heroes franchise manage to catch up to the Japanese releases of this incredibly lengthy franchise, but that the game’s that helped kick it off would be getting remade at the very same time. A few months ago we reviewed the fresh remake of Nihon Falcom’s Trails in the Sky 1st Chapter and now here we are, visiting the most recent release in a story featuring characters and plot elements spanning all the way from that very first game twenty-two years ago. It’s not often that a video game sequel requires full knowledge of its predecessors, and in many ways The Legend of Heroes tried to do that with Daybreak, but now that everything has gathered together in The Legend of Heroes: Trails Beyond the Horizon, players best be ready for the most character packed, lore heavy, game of the franchise since Reverie."
go dl 1942: Joint Strike
haha <3
Battletoads and Double Dragons broke my thumbs...and yet I went back to it every day. I still enjoy gaming, at least when I play it, or play with my friends. I don't enjoy the back and forth banter about it all.
yes I agree with you 100% man
gaming today seems focus on graphics without having a strong heart
remember games like perfect dark,shadowman,turok 2,conker:bad fur day and many more
today the industry just seems to have a sh!t load of craapy,soulless,and unispired games,mainly fps games,just the same old crap(unreal engine)
even more shamful,nextgen tech didn't help them just take a look at turok on 360\ps3 and pdz,compare them to their classics(two gens behind) and its nothing like the good'ol games
too many sucky games,even our best games turns to utter garbage(pdz,halo3,gta4,turok)
More fun? No, but not less fun. It is equally fun. However, I would not have a lot of fun if companies released games the same way they were 20 years ago. Not only that, but games have advanced a lot in other fronts, not just graphics, but production values in general. And to me, that has made the games have a lot more variety, made them more interesting.
So basically, games are still fun, but now they are more entertaining. Entertainment is not necessarily "fun", indigo prophecy or resident evil are not fun; however, they are very entertaining, and they cause emotions which are the opposite of fun, which is what makes me enjoy gaming even more, since I am not a child anymore. See what I'm saying?
so because games are more advanced now and days, games aren't as fun? You really make no sense with what you wrote. This is why each generation is called "the next-gen." As processors become more advanced and more RAM is available in games on consoles, games will be more complex and more realistic. To say something like Crash Bandicoot is more fun than COD4 s complete opinion. As for trying to generalize that if someone thinks games were more fun back in the day than they are now and days is "ridiculous" is not only your opinion, but retarded. If you don't want your games to become more complex, keep with your PS1, PS2, N64, or NES, but don't try to hate on people who want gaming to advance. I for one want games to take time to learn, and take time to master and not just be 2 buttons on one controller, I want to use all 13 buttons, and have to use them all to conquer the game, thats why its "next-gen" not just because of graphics.
